There are many varieties of the YSL tassel bag replica when it comes to size, color and material. This bag comes in smooth leather, patent leather, suede, python leather, croc leather and also grain de poudre textured leather. But even if there are so many different options for this bag, it’s important to be familiar with the common features all of them have.

I’ve seen many fake YSL bags, from really cheap to really expensive , so I thought I should make a small guide for those of you who want to learn more about this iconic bag.

I’ve already shown you some bad fake YSL bags as to know what to avoid. What I want to point out this time is that an YSL Tassel bag replica doesn’t have to be cheap to be bad. On the contrary, I’ve turned to eBay for some examples and unfortunately I did find them. I really don’t want to scare you girls with these bad examples I find on eBay but you really need to stay safe.

The only good part about these two Yves Saint Laurent replica handbags I’ve found on eBay is that the price is relatively cheap, which should make anyone suspicious.

I will also show you some really cheap YSL tassel bag replica bags for comparison. Given their price, I can’t say I’m disappointed by the way they look. Still, if you come across a similar replica that is more expensive than these, you should keep in mind that it’s not worth it.

Cheap-Looking Fake YSL Bags

As long as you know the features a designer bag has, you should be safe. But you need to pay extra attention to details. Just because a bag looks really similar to an authentic at first sight, it doesn’t mean it is. Here are some photos of a grey YSL tassel bag replica that costs £220. It’s an expensive replica but you have to admit it looks really good and it’s not easy to tell it’s a fake for the untrained eye:

Fake YSL Tassel Bag Details

Tassel – goes without saying but this is an essential feature of this bag and a good way to tell if the bag is fake or not. The tassels should be long and thick and gorgeous!

Stamp on the interior of the flap – should say “Saint Laurent Paris”, not “Yves Saint Laurent”.

Lining – never a shiny textile material like this one:

– either smooth leather or suede.

For shoulder bags – check the chain and the hardware engravings: the two rings attaching the chain strap; the metal plaque and the tassel.

Authentic YSL Tassel Bag Hardware Engravings To Check

There are two types of chains for the YSL Tassel bags. Both are correct but one is for older models and the chunkier one is for newer styles.

The flap – check to see if it’s symmetric and how long it is (should be about an inch higher than the bottom of the bag).

The logo – on the leather tag inside the bag.

Authentic YSL Inside Tag

The interior – should feature a small open pocket and just one big compartment no matter the size. The Saint Laurent Cassandre Tassel bag should never have a zipper pocket. I notice that many of the bad fake Saint Laurent tassel bags have an interior that is similar to that of the Saint Laurent Chain Wallet. The YSL Chain Wallet has a zipper pocket in the middle and also many small open pockets.

Also, don’t make decisions like buying expensive designer bags in a hurry, even if the seller pressures you to make a decision. Just think about the fact that an honest seller will be willing to show you all the extra pictures you need to see before you decide to buy it. But be prepared to recognize the possible flaws too because otherwise those pictures will not be helpful at all and you’ll also be more inclined to think the seller is honest just because she/he was willing to send more pictures.

If you check all these features, you will learn not only how to choose good replicas but also how to spot a YSL tassel bag replica. Good luck!

Even though this guide is meant to help those who are trying to find the best Saint Laurent Sac Du Jour replica, you can also use it to authenticate a Sac De Jour you’re having doubts about.

Saint Laurent Sac Du Jour Replica Common Flaws

First of all, a good Saint Laurent Sac du Jour replica should be made of high-quality leather. The real Sac de Jour is made of beautiful rich leather and so should be a premium replica. It’s difficult to tell if the bag is made of real leather when you’re shopping online because you can’t actually smell it or feel it but you can tell if the material looks too matte and bland. Just like you would expect from a high-quality designer bag, the interior is just as luxurious as the exterior. The interior of the Sac de Jour is lined in ultrasuede while the inside pockets are lined with a faille material that prevents the bag from looking bulky. You should also keep in mind that the Sac de Jour is a structured tote, so you should not buy a replica that looks slouchy. Needless to say that a cheap Sac du Jour replica will not follow these rules.

A good Saint Laurent Sac du Jour replica should also have impeccable stitching all across the bag. If the bag has loose threads all over, then it means it’s a low quality replica.

Based on the Yves Saint Laurent replica reviews I’ve received so far, I can tell you for sure that the weakest point and most common flaw of the Saint Laurent Sac Du Jour replica bags is the logo stamp. The stamp (both inside and out) should be crisp, clear and consistent and it should match the color of the hardware. You will notice that many of the fake Saint Laurent Sac De Jour bags you’ll find online (especially the cheaper ones) have smudges around the stamp or that the logo is not aligned. I know that I’ve said before that the “T” should touch the “N” in front of it both for the “Saint” and for “Laurent” but this is not enough anymore. Because I’ve seen some fake YSL bag logos that followed this rule were still really bad:

Remember this YSL Sac de Jour Nano review? That bag was a huge hit back then and everyone wanted a Saint Laurent Sac Du Jour replica in that beautiful pink color. But the biggest problem that Saint Laurent Nano Sac de Jour replica had was not that the color wasn’t exactly like the real one but the fact that both the inside and the exterior stamp were really bad. But don’t worry, you will be able to find Saint Laurent Sac Du Jour replica bags with amazing stamps! And you can find some good examples right here, on the blog.

Still, you need to take into account that a good replica Sac De Jour is usually quite expensive, one in the 300 USD range being the most affordable. But the prices can go up to $500 for a Saint Laurent Sac Du Jour replica in Medium size. It’s not that you can’t find a Sac de Jour replica cheaper than this. But just don’t expect it to be made of real leather.

Now let’s see what the other replica handbags reviews on the blog have taught us about Saint Laurent Sac de Jour bags:

Shoulder strap flaws:

“My biggest issue would be the shoulder strap which is not like the original. It is cut off and sewed close whereas the original one is enclosed all the way between 2 pieces of leather. I have circled it in red”

When the end of the strap looks glued rather than stitched.

The hardware:

Make sure it’s not too gold or too shiny because that’s when it looks cheap.

Hardware pieces that need to be engraved: the two middle compartment zipper pulls should be made of metal and marked with “Saint Laurent” on one side, while the interior pocket zipper pull should be made of leather. The lock and keys should also be engraved but sometimes they are very poorly engraved and that makes them useless:

Saint Laurent Sac Du Jour Replica Keys Are Poorly Engraved

Don’t be surprised to see that some Saint Laurent Sac Du Jour replica bags come with a serial number tag too. The tag is sometimes misplaced on a fake YSL bag but I do not consider this to be a major flaw because it’s not visible. But in case you need this information to learn how to spot a fake Sac de Jour, then you should know that the serial number is embossed on a leather patch you should find inside the interior pocket.

Saint Laurent Sac Du Jour Replica Leather Tag Flaws

The leather tag hanging in the front should be embossed with the words “Saint Laurent Paris” but I’ve noticed that this stamp is crooked on many fake YSL Sac de Jour bags. If that’s the case with your bag too, maybe you should consider wearing it without this tag.
